SessionState configures the session state settings for the current application.

HTML
<sessionstate mode="Off|InProc|StateServer|SQLServer">
              cookieless="true|false"
              timeout="number of minutes"
              stateConnectionString="tcpip=server:port"
              sqlConnectionString="sql connection string"
              stateNetworkTimeout="number of seconds"/></sessionstate>


To access Connection String:

Connection string in .NET 2.0 config file
In the appSettings location, add a key named whatever you like to reference your connection string to.
XML
<appSettings>
<add key="myConnectionString" value="server=localhost;database=myDb;uid=myUser;password=myPass;" />
</appSettings>


To read the connection string from code, use the ConfigurationSettings class.

C#
string connStr = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("myConnectionString");

Now you have the connection string loaded from web.config into your string variable in code.

Connection string in .NET 3.5 (and above) config file
Do not use appsettings in web.config. Instead use the connectionStrings section in web.config.
XML
<connectionStrings>
<add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="server=localhost;database=myDb;uid=myUser;password=myPass;" />
</connectionStrings>

To read the connection string into your code, use the ConfigurationSettings class.

C#
string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
